People have often asked us what the fascination is with donkeys. Well, the answer to us is their wonderful personalities. They are so friendly and easy to handle, are safe to be around, and are less expensive to keep than other equines. Miniature donkeys are very trustworthy around children, the elderly and the handicapped. They are easily trained to pull a cart, can be shown, and can even be ridden by small children. They are the perfect backyard pet!

If you are interested in any of our donkeys, please call or email with any questions you may have. All inquiries are promptly answered. If you are looking for something special, contact us as we may have others available who are not currently listed here. Delivery is available in most circumstances for an added fee, or we'd be happy to meet you part way. Due to their sociable nature, please note that we will not allow one lone donkey to go to a home that does not offer at least one other donkey as a companion!

Very Light Red Jennet
DOB 1/06/08
Birth Height: 20"

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Red
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Red
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Red

Dam:  Shorecrets Adorable, 31.5" Gray
      Grand Sire:  Shorecrets Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Red
      Grand Dam:  Hickory Hills Jessica, 32" Gray

This little girl is Dora's first foal. We had thought she was going to be gray like her mom, but she is actually a very light red. When Addy stands alongside our gray donkeys, she stands out with her red tone. We think she will mature nice and tiny, most likely anywhere from 30-32" at most. Addy has been spoiled since day one. She was born in extremely cold weather and things were very touch and go in the first 12 hours of her life. We had to bring the pair into our heated garage for warmth, dry her with a hair dryer and we bottle fed Addy with colustrum milked from Dora for the first 6 hours or so because Addy did not have the stength to stand on her own. Addy took her first steps at about 6 hours of age, and has been going strong ever since! She is a bundle of energy and has that signature overly friendly personality you will find in most all of our foals. Addy can be weaned in May or June and will be registered through the miniature donkey registry in Texas prior to leaving our farm. As with all of our donkeys, Addy must go to a new home having at least one other donkey waiting upon her arrival as her pasture mate.

Gray Jack
DOB 2/22/08
Birth Height: 22.5"

Sire:  Wit's End Tyger Heart, 33.5" Dark Spotted
      Grand Sire:  Sunset Acres Speedway Racer, 31.5" Black/Brown w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  Windcrest Noelle, 32.5" Brown/White Spot

Dam:  Half Ass Acres Shania Twain, 34" Gray/White Spot
      Grand Sire:  Fisher's Great Gildersleeve, 32.25" Tri-Colored Spot
      Grand Dam:  Half Ass Acres Jody, 32.5" Light Brown/Gray/White Spot

Well, when we bred Shania (spotted) to Tyger (spotted) last year, we were kind of expecting, well, spots! Especially when considering their colorful ancestry. Little Noah decided to come out all solid gray to surprise us instead. He is cute as a button, just look at that face! I think his muzzle may go black. He started out with more white on his nose and it seems to be gradually disappearing. Since Noah's grandfather Racer has NLP, that is certainly a possibility. Noah should mature to around 33-34" and will make a perfect companion or cart donkey. He can be weaned the end of June and is looking to reserve a new home now! As with all of our donkeys, Noah will be registered and will only be placed in a loving new home having at least one other donkey as a friend.

Frosted Spotted Red/White Jennet

One of the most unusual foals we've ever had, Punkin is a true Halloween treat! Her color is different than anything I've ever seen. Punkin is bright white, with dark eye rings on both eyes, and through her coat there are very light patches of red (pink). I had a gray and white foal years ago with the same "bleeding spots" and she eventually lost her spots and was considered Frosted Spotted White. I'm confident Punkin is going to do the same. As a weanling, she now appears totally white. We won't know what is underneath all of that baby fuzz for certain until she sheds out this summer. Regardless, Punkin is an adorable foal. She is stocky, shouldn't mature taller than 33", and is naturally friendly towards everyone. Her pedigree on her sire's side is filled with reds and lots of small sizes, so Punkin's future as a brood jennet is exciting. I had planned on keeping this foal, she was one of my 2007 "picks of the litter". With 16 foals expected this year though, I was talked into parting with Punkin and a few others I had not planned on selling in order to help reduce our numbers. Punkin is fabulous, her unique color will brighten up your pasture and her comical personality will brighten up your day!

Congratulations to Nancy Tomlinson, Aiken, South Carolina!
Gemini, Punkin and Sabrina are headed down to the warm

If you are looking to purchase your first two breeding jennets, or simply add two experienced jennets to your existing herd, these two girls may be what you are looking for. Murphy and Lucy are the best of friends and have been together for at least the past 10 years. I am looking to place the pair in a home together for that reason.

Both girls are bred for 2008 foals. Lucy is due this spring and Murphy is not due until the fall. Both are proven jennets who have given us a variety of super foals over the past 8 years we have owned them. Both of them have daughters we have retained in our herd. Both girls are also healthy and have very friendly, easy to handle personalities. Murphy and Lucy are both current on their vaccinations, deworming, hoof care and selenium boosters. They both are also registered through ADMS.

I know both of these jennets very well and have an attachment to them since they were some of our very first jennets. If you have any questions about either, please ask and I will tell you anything I can! This is a fantastic opportunity for someone just starting out to get a 4 for 2 deal on two perfect, bred for 2008, starter jennets!

Price: $3500 (for Murphy, Lucy and their two unborn foals)

Gemini has lived with us for a little more than a year, and in that time, has proven to us that donkeys really do have the personality of a St. Bernard! Gemini is a very, very friendly 6 1/2 year old jennet. Last year she had a gorgeous jennet foal for us named "Daydream". We also had the pleasure of owning a son of Gemini's, Jasper, who for a time we had retained as a future breeding jack because despite his "just being gray", he was so perfect in every way, we could not fault him.

Gemini build-wise has a thinner structure. She is not a short, compact, stocky donkey, but we can attest to the fact that when bred to a well conformed jack, Gemini produces foals that are stocky and have excellent conformation from head to tail. Gemini dropped in weight after the birth of her last foal who was weaned in November. Because we felt she was too thin, we chose not to re-breed her at that time so she is currently open. Gemini is still at this time not quite back up to the weight we'd like to see her at. We would very much like to see Gemini go to a home with just a few other donkeys rather than a large herd so that her new owners can help her to maintain her weight in a more one-on-one setting. We are finding that difficult to do in our herd of 45+ miniature donkeys.

You will not find a friendlier or easier to handle donkey than Gemini. If I didn't think she would benefit more from being in a smaller herd, I would never even think of offering her for sale. She's just that good.

Congratulations to Nancy Tomlinson, Aiken, South Carolina!

Dark Brown Jennet
DOB 2/13/07

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Sorrel

      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Sorrel

Cori is a sweet natured, quiet yearling. We had planned on retaining her in our herd, but we are feeling the need to cut down our numbers this year, and Cori was one of the difficult decisions we had to make. Cori is shown above in her foal photos. She has grown up a little since then, however is still quite a pretty jennet.

Cori just turned 1 year old February 13th, and she has kept a nice, rich dark brown color and is also keeping her nice compact size. Conformation wise she has a nice square build, round rear and a short back. Her rear legs are not as perfect as some, however, she is young yet, and I have seen many weanlings and yearlings go through a gangly, awkward stage at her age and then improve upon maturity. For that reason I am not overly concerned at this point and do not see any reason why she cannot go on to become a valuable brood jennet for someone.

Cori was DNA typed as a foal and carries that certification of bloodlines on her paperwork through the Miniature Donkey Registry. I expect Cori to mature no taller than 32-33". Both parents are very compact and small, I expect Cori to follow suit. Cori carries reds, blacks, browns, grays, spots and even frosted spotted white in her pedigree, so the possibilities of what she can produce in the future are wide open.

Cori is very, very attached to one of our other younger jennets who we are planning on retaining in our herd. I think she will do well if her new home has a younger jennet (under 3 years of age) that she can become best friends with. Cori is current on all vaccinations, hoof care, dewormings and selenium boosters and is a very healthy and easy going jennet. It will be difficult seeing her leave!

32" Black Jennet

      Grand Dam:  SNS Fudgie, Brown (out of a 31" sire)

I kept Morgan from our 2002 foals, hoping that she would one day become one of our top brood jennets. Morgan matured into exactly what I had hoped for, maturing small at 32" and all the while, keeping her perfect conformation that she had as a foal. I did not expect to ever be offering her for sale to a new home, but sometimes unexpected things happen. In this case, we've been unsuccessful in getting Morgan to settle in foal the past several years. Morgan has been exposed to two of our jacks since 2005 when she turned 3 years old. She routinely comes in season, but has yet to settle in foal. I hate to feel like we are giving up on her too soon, but to be honest, we are looking to cut our herd down a little this year anyway, and although there are several tests we could have the vet do to with Morgan, we have chosen to offer her as she is, knowing that she's been pasture exposed for the past 3 years and has not yet come in foal. She will make a wonderful pet for someone, or if you have a jack and a small herd of jennets, take a chance on her and you may one day be surprised with a foal. She is otherwise healthy and up to date on all of her vaccinations (5-way, Rabies, WNV, Potomac) and is registered through ADMS as well. Morgan is used to being with other donkeys 24/7, so I will only allow her to go a home with at least one other donkey as a buddy.

Sabrina is a perfect little jennet foal, from head to tail and everything in between! I love this foal, she has such a great personality and is put together like a little tank. She is tiny, and very square, back legs are great and her color is a bonus. I imagine she will go blacker as she matures. She is darkening daily it seems. Sabrina also has a red cast throughout her coat, compliments of her red sire, Buddy. Sabrina has a fantastic pedigree behind her, with mostly smaller sizes and lots of color. She would make the perfect addition to your show string or brood band.

Congratulations to Nancy Tomlinson, Aiken, South Carolina!

Ellie is a gorgeous jennet weanling with wonderful conformation and the personality of a chocolate lab! Ellie has exceptional bloodlines in her background, and although her mother is on the taller side, Ellie's sire, Buddy, brings in a wealth of small heights (all the way down to 29.5") that likely will influence Ellie's foals size-wise come breeding age.

Carrying Dewey Meadows and LCR bloodlines on her dam's side, combined with predominantly LN and Lawzyday breeding on her sire's side, this foal has a bright breeding future ahead of her. Ellie would also be a good candidate as a cart donkey for someone since both mom and dad have nice, stocky builds. Ellie is a sweetheart, and like all of our donkeys, she is looking for a new home with at least one other donkey as a friend. She is registered through the Miniature Donkey Registry in Texas.

35" Black Jennet w/Cross
DOB 8/01/03

Sire:  Dewey Meadows Gucci, 31.5" Black
      Grand Sire:  Dewey Meadows Guido, 33" Black w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  Dewey Meadows Juliet, 35" Brown

Dam:  Dewey Meadows Lucinda, 35" Brown
      Grand Sire:  LCR Valintino 49 (Winchester), 34" Dark Red
      Grand Dam:  Lazy C Ranch Philamena 49, 35.5" Gray-Dun

Nightshade quickly earned the nickname of "Nosey Nellie" after her arrival at our farm as a yearling straight from Dewey Meadows farm in New York. Nellie matured out a bit taller than we'd hoped, maturing to a solid 35" tall. We have decided that we need to cut our herd down at least a little this year, especially since I'm having a hard time parting with a few of my 2007 jennet foals! Because her height is taller than that of the rest of our girls, we have decided to offer this young, proven jennet to a new home at this time.

Nellie had her first foal, an uneventful pregnancy and delivery, on September 12, 2007. She had a gorgeous jennet foal with exceptional conformation and personality to spare, Shorecrests Elegance. Since Nellie had a fall baby, she has been given the winter off while nursing her foal and is currently open to breed to your own jack this coming spring. If she has not been sold by April 1st, however, I will be re-breeding her to our jack, Shorecrest's Little Buddy, for a 2009 foal and at that time, her price will go up. Nellie is up to date on all vaccinations, deworming, hoof care and selenium boosters.

If you like those Dewey Meadows bloodlines, combined with the black color, excellent conformation, and on top of that a young, proven jennet, then Nellie may be a good choice as an addition to your herd.

Sire:  Wit's End Tyger Heart, Dark Spotted

      Grand Dam:  SNS Murphy Brown, 34" Dark Brown

Wow! We weren't expecting a black foal out of Diascia, and were very pleasantly surprised! We crossed her with Tyger last year in hopes of a spotted baby, but so far, Tyger's foals seem to be picking up the solid dark genes from his sire.... this one even has NLP like his grandfather, Speedway Racer. A very handsome boy, Benny has a bright future ahead of him as a wonderful pet for someone. He should mature to about 33" and not only has that gorgeous black color with no light points, but has the friendly personality to go with it. Ben has been registered with ADMS and is ready anytime to go to his new home having at least one other donkey as a friend. He is already good friends with Noah, also listed for sale. Discount given if interested in purchasing the pair to become lifelong buddies!

Torrie is a sweet little jennet, very tiny, petite and feminine. She has the prettiest head and expressive eyes. She'll climb right up onto your lap for your attention. Gray in color for now, but she does have brown through her coat. I expect her to mature around 32" or so. She has a full pedigree with many notable ancestors throughout, including LCR Valentino 50, LN Redsonnehi, and grandsire Lawzyday Farms Cherokee. Her background is strong with sorrels on her sires side and blacks and dark browns on her dam's side most in the 29.5" to 32" range. Torrie was born on the day of my two daughter's softball tournaments -- hence the name "Torrie"! Torrie will make a fine brood jennet or pet for someone. Visit our 'newborn' page for more photos!

Sorry, no longer for sale! Torrie is maturing very, very nicely and at this time we are considering retaining her as a future brood jennet. New photos to come this summer!"
